Don't we sometimes neglect very important things in our life?

 

 

The ventilation grates collapsed during an outdoor pop concert and 16 people died in Pangyo last Friday. Therefore, concern is rising over the safety of ventilation grates above subway stations in Seoul and other metropolitan cities. Most of these grates are installed beside on sidewalks in cities. The ventilation grates are designed for pedestrian to use and one square meter of grate is designed to endure at least 500 kilograms according to the Seoul Metropolitan Government statement. The government says that they are 'deemed safety' to walk on.

 

This incident is a wake-up call for our insensibility of safety. Sometimes we are unaware of very important things in our life such as safety and peace. Our nation is divided into two nations and under armistice. The North Korea provoked South Korea once in a while, but it happened for 60 years after a cease-fire agreement made. Koreans, especially young people do not take it seriously because it happened repeatedly for 60 years. Our people became insensible to war and peace just like the insensibility of safety in case of Pangyo ventilation grates accident.

 

Korean advocator of world peace, Mr, Man Hee Lee, actively has worked for world peace and his works were known to many leaders from all over the world, and they have taken part in making world peace reality, too.  Even though he started the work to achieve world peace in a small country, Korea, it will be a great achievement in this earth. I hope that his efforts will bear fruits and world peace will be come true including peace in the earth.

 

Rubber Duck Project

Rubber duck showed up in Seokchon lake, Seoul, South Korea on October 14th. It looks so cute, but it weighs about 1ton. Rubber dock has send peaceful and happy messages to many people in 16 countries.  Seckchon lake is the last place of Asia tour and it will be showed until November 14th.

The reason Rubber duck became the symbol of peace is followed.
In 1992, a cargo ship whish was going from Hong Kong to America almost founder owing to a heaven rainstorm. At that time container which carried rubber duck toys dropped into the North Pacific.

28,000 rubber dock toys which poured into the ocean made a toy island. Scattered rubber ducks were moved along with ocean currents. That helped oceanographers with study ocean currents, and people were happy to see these rubber ducks which looked so cute. This led “having a rubber duck follows happiness” into them, and in 2007, an extra- large rubber duck was made, and then it became the symbol of love and peace.

On October 14th there was a happening that the rubber duck was sunk until being installed. This made people pay much more attention, and it has made a headline in just a few days

Thanks to the rubber duck which has made people of not only Korea, also all over the world smile, I was happy, too. Just a rubber dock made people relaxed and pleased. Moreover, if wars stops and achieve a real peace in this earth, how happy would we be happy?
The just a rubber duck means love and peace, then efforts that we have made for peace continuously  will achieve peace that makes all people in the earth smile.

“Uber”- Convenient Service for Travelling Seoul, Korea

Have you ever got lost in Seoul?
Or have you ever been late, not being able to take a taxi or get on a bus?
There is a service for those people.

That is Uber. .
It is well-known for advanced IT technology which combines the latest IT tech with transportation.

Then, what is Uber?
To explain it easily, it is application for call-taxi. People had to call the taxi company for a cab. Now that people can just download Uber application and call the nearest cars. 

It is easy and simple to use.
Users need to put their name, email and credit card information, and then there will be available limousines on the map.

 

If you click it, you will be able to see the driver, kind of vehicle and review from Uber users.
Based on information, user can call it and the car will be ready to your location.
When the user is not at the destination, they will send you a message to let you find the car easily.
Uber is different from other limousine companies.
The driver will take you to the destination. It is the same as the call-taxi service.
Payment for Uber is also different. When you arrive to the destination, people normally pay with cash or card to drivers. Registered card on Uber application is paid through IAP (In-App-Payment).
So, users don’t have to pay in cash or credit card to the driver.


There are many more convenient advantages.
Uber user can check the location all the time and share it with families or friends.
All limousines which provide Uber service has own registered number, so anyone can locate the Limousine with this number.
It will be reassuring when you put your friends or coworkers at night. Also, the person who pays for it doesn’t have to be in the limousine since it is paid automatically through the application.
It is useful when someone has to pay by corporate credit card. 

Besides, people can use it even when users are nearly impossible to get a taxi because of bad weather, the end-of the year and so on.
The reason is simple. They use peak-time price that the cost will depend on distance with high demand and the cost will go down with high supply.
The driver will get incentives when they are on service with high demand. It enables the company to have enough limousines.

The price is higher than normal taxies. It is 1.5 times more expensive. If you can use a cab in 20,000 won, you will have to pay 30,000 by using Uber.
Though, it is not that expensive considering that you can take a sedan and it will come to you wherever you are.
It will be just like taking deluxe taxi.

Now you know the way of using Uber, you don’t have to worry about transportation and enjoy your time in Seoul. :)

Attitude that every press in the world needs to have - Mr. and Mrs. Taylor’s ‘Dilkusha'

2-17, Sajikro, Jongrogu, Seoul, South Korea
This house was obviously built in American style.
The name of the two-story house is ‘Dilkusha' which was built with red bricks in 1923.
The word is originally in Sanskrit and read as ‘Dilkusha' in English.
This word means palace of hope, happy mind and utopia.
Who built a house with this name?

This house is Mr. and Mrs. Taylor’s house.
Albert W. Taylor who is an American came to Joseon with his father, George Taylor, in 1896.
After that, he had worked as a UPA correspondent in Seoul and helped Joseon for its independence by letting the whole world know Japan’s atrocities.
He found the Korean Declaration of Independence which was hidden by a nurse who helped a birth of his son, and sent it to Tokyo by hiding under the heel of his brother’s shoe.
This was the chance to let the world know about it through an article.

 

Also, he was the one who discovered the Jeamri incident while he was on the move with missionaries on April 17th, 1919.
The Jeamri incident which happened in April 15th, 1919 is that Japan killed civilians after nationwide 3.1 movement.
Because of these activities, he was on the blacklist of Japan and was sentenced 6 months in prison in 1941. His wife, Mary who helped Joseon people along with his husband was sentenced under house arrest.
After getting out of prison, they were deported to the USA.


“If I die somewhere not in Korea, bring my ash to Korea and bury there.”
According to his will, he who died in 1948 was buried in Korea with his father. 

Even though Korea wasn’t their country, they fought with their lives.
With their sacrifice, we could broadcast the damage of war in the third person’s point of view.

The efforts the Taylor’s had made for peace showed us how the press should be.
‘Dilkusha' which is the palace of hope and where the Taylor used to live
What would the appearance of Korea that they hoped for? 
Does Korea.., does the world live in utopia?
What is true peace and what the press should do? That’s what we need to think about once more.

The Seoul Olympic Park(the Gate of Peace)

There are many sights of the capital, Seoul, Korea.

Among them, I like to introduce one of the famous place.

The Seoul Olympic Park,

The total area is 438,000 square meters, and the 1986 Asian Games in Seoul, the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games were the purpose of construction.

The purpose of the Olympic Park is to commemorate the Olympic Games.

That was starting at 17th Melbourne Olympic Gamesin 1956, and it's symbolize the Olympic Game in Seoul.

Through the Olympics, World's unity and communication are fulfilling, especially the Gate of peace will contain the most depth of the object of the desire which is filled with peace.

The world still can not be one and we are watching the reality of global war, the Gate of Peace make us thinking of peace and getting haert of the end of war.
